Paul Robeson
Paul Robeson died on this day in 1976, and I played a few of his records today to remember the great man.

Re: Paul Robeson
Yes, a great baritone and a great political figure. I particularly admire his transformation of the lyrics to "Ol' Man River" from a song of resignation to one of rebellion. This of course he did later in life after making the song famous on Broadway.

Re: Paul Robeson
Great artist, and his voice was made for the microphone, all his records sound excellent!
